Saturated

|
|
Example of a dynamic equilibrium
|
a system consisting of a saturated solution in contact with excess, undissolved solute
-saturated solution of NaCl in contact with excess, crystalline NaCl. -Rate of ions leaving the crystals and entering the solution is equal to the rate of dissolved ions reforming crystals |

|
T
|
|
At equilibrium...?
|
no net change occurs spontaneously
|
|

|
upsets the equilibrium
|
|
What can cause stress to the equilibrium?
|
Heat
|
|
Heating the system stresses the equilibrium, increasing what?
NaCl + heat --- Na+ + Cl- |
the rate of the forward reaction and causing more NaCl to dissolve
|
|
What happens if the system is maintained at the higher temperature, eventually the rate of the reverse reaction?
|
"catches" up and equilibrium is reestablished
-rates of both the forward and reverse reactions are greater than at the lower temperature -no further net change occurs -more ions (Na+, Cl-), less solids NaCl |
|
Le Chatlier's Principle
|
an equilibrium responds to a forced stress by shifting in the direction that absorbs the stress OR if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a stress (forced change), the system will change in whichever way restores equilibrium
